>> i'm sure cole hamels and chase utley and ryan howard all have their phones on because they may get a call before this is over. jimmy rollins can veto any trade but it appears that he has changed his thinking, the phillies and dodgers were working on a trade this afternoon and another report that says nothing is set in stone just yet. the phillies were looking for young pitching in return. rollins came up with the phils in 2000 making him the longest tenured athlete in town. rollins the 2007 mvp led the team to a world series title in 2008 and leaves as the all time hits leader and he passed mike schmidt this past season. and he is from california and coupled with the team's plans to rebuild may have swayed his

thinking, he is 36 years old and who may be his replacement they drafted a nice young shortstop in crawford so freddy galis will likely be the shortstop in the interim. >> all right ducis we'll have more later. >> word has come that missing student shane montgomery is finally showing up on surveillance video and that led police to the schuylkill river, this is the scene as the marine unit was scouring the river today near and under the railroad bridge, montgomery has been missing since thanksgiving morning after leaving kildare's irish pub in manayunk. david henry is live on main street tonight. could this be the information police are waiting for. >> reporter: well possibly the information the police and more importantly shane's family is looking for. they could get news that might

confirm their worst fears. this show appears to show shane crossing the small bridge heading towards the river. this is the camera shot it's at a tilted angle but clearly shows the small bridge across the canal, that leads to a parking lot across the river, crime scene investigators crossed the river and its banks later today. the rough surf cut the search short. >> at this point we are begging for answers. >> shane montgomery seemed to vanish without a trace, he was out drinking with friends and their last stop was kildare's pub where they went their separate ways at closing time. police scoured local businesses for surveillance video, including christie's nail salon. they returned a number of times for more and this morning they

tried a different time frame on this camera and that is when they apparently saw shane. the search began shortly after. >> they needed more time on the cam remarks i don't know, i don't ask, whatever it is hopefully they find shane for the family. >> shane's family and an army of volunteers from across the city looked and offered a reward to find him. the volunteers remain hopeful. nobody is giving up hope, that is the best part. the commune needed something to come together with and nobody will give up hope. that is the bottom line, we will not give up hope until we have shane back. shane's mother tells me this has been a rough day for the family and police have told her that they will be back out here tomorrow morning to continue searching the river. live in manayunk, david henry, channel 6 "action news."
